Members of a community group in Northern Ireland have spoken of their pride in being able to restore a derelict hall back to life for the local village to use.
Glenclare Community Group are based in Glenavy, and have been operating from 2012. After a few years of planning and hard work, they were able to return St Clare's Community Hall back to life to host events and activities for members of the local area.
First opened in the Easter of 1957, the hall had always been an integral part of the community, best known back then for hosting showbands and dances. From around the mid-1980s, however, the hall was used sporadically as it began to fall into disrepair.
